Layla jumped from her seat and was by Zayne’s side almost immediately, holding him from tripping on his feet.

“Are you alright? Is anything wrong? Is there anything you need? Anything I can do?” She asked, confused on what to do.

Her mind went to the only thing she could think of that was causing his sudden pain, the full moon.

“Please take me to a chair.” He whispered, leaning on her a bit. Her legs trembled under the additional weight, but she swallowed back her complaint as she slowly led him.

She set him on the nearest chair, and he relaxed against it.

“Are you alright?” She asked again, watching him rub his temple. “Are you sick? Do you need medications or something? I could rush to the sick bay.”

“I’m fine. It’s just the feeling—the effect of the full moon.” He grumbled and ran his fingers through it. She was right. It was the moon. It was affecting not just Alaric but him too.

“I can’t believe I’m reacting this way to the moon. It’s so embarrassing.” Zayne h

    *Knock Knock*“I’m coming.” Layla replied, throwing on her school bag as she walked to the door and opened it.“Good— Sylvan?” She blinked, staring at the man who stood at her door instead of Zayne.“Good morning,” Sylvan said and gave her a small, gentle smile.“Good morning. Um… what are you doing here? Where is Zayne?” She asked, trying not to sound rude as her eyes peered around for the werewolf. It was the first time someone other than Alaric, Zayne, and unfortunately, Nyssa, had come to her dorm, and it was kind of strange.“Werewolves and vampires usually have a free day because of the moon, so the headmaster told me to take you to class.” He replied, kicking the invisible stone at his feet.“Ok,” she nodded, stepping out of her cabin and locking the door.‘Why didn’t they send Alaric instead? I hope he’s still not as down as yesterday.’ She thought as she and Sylvan walked together in silence. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, watching to see if he would show any

    ‘Sylvan said it! He actually said it!’ Layla’s breath hitched as she gaped at him. ‘That means he’s a…’“You’re a—”“Shh! We’ll talk later at the end of class.” Sylvan said, nudging his head to the other students. “Let’s focus on class first.”‘Oh, that’s right. I can’t say anything here. I could get us in trouble.’ She pressed her lips together and nodded.Her mouth itched, wanting to blurt out all the questions she had for him, and it took her all of her willpower to keep them shut.‘Sylvan is an elite student but also a spy for the rebel. How? HOW?!’~“Ok, now spill.” Layla blurted as she slammed her room door shut and stared at Sylvan. Classes were finally over for the day, and she was ready to explode with questions.“I wish they had given me a dorm like this. Cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by nature. It’s perfect.” Sylvan wished, ogling at the interior of her room and wearing a soft smile.“Come on, Sylvan. No stalling. Tell me the truth.” She complained as s

    “You’re Eleanor’s protector?” Layla gasped, gawking at Sylvan. His eyes widened as if he realised what he had said, and his entire face turned bright red.“T-that’s not how I wanted to tell you, but… yes. I’m her protector.” He stuttered, avoiding her gaze, and her lips curled to a small smile.“Are you guys in a relationship by any chance? The book said that the Sun and Moon children can enter a romantic relationship with any of their protectors, so…” She drawled, wriggling her brows.Sylvan’s bashful smile dropped into a sad one, and his shoulders dropped. It was like a dark cloud had formed over his head and had rained down on his happy parade.“Sylvan…” Layla whispered, blinking at his sudden change in mood.“I never stood a chance against Pyro.” He sighed, rubbing his hand over his eyes. “I’m sorry,” she said softly, placing her hand on his shoulder. She knew heartbreak when she saw it, and Sylvan was the definition of heartbroken.“Thank you. I don’t blame Eleanor though; she m

    ‘It would be a good thing if I left, right? If Sylvan is telling the truth about the rebels, then that would be safer for me. I wouldn’t have to deal with my terrible professors and classmates. There would be no Terra and Brenton to constantly humiliate me in front of the whole class and Victor’s sadistic punishments. There would be no Nyssa to bully me. No snarky whispers. No glares. No nothing.‘And best of all, no wicked parliamentarians. No threat of death hanging over my head and someone breathing over my neck. I would be free, and I could properly discover who I truly am. It would be wonderful for me, probably the best thing that could happen to me since I stepped into the supernatural world. I would be a fool to not accept that kind of offer. But…’Layla grabbed her stuffed elephant and squeezed it to her chest as if it would soak all her worries like a sponge.‘But what about Alaric? And… Zayne? Can I just leave them? Of course I can, but I feel so terrible just thinking about

    "A-alaric." Layla squeaked, her heart pounding in her chest as she stared into Alaric's glowing red eyes.He didn't say anything. He just stared at her. His chest heaved as he took in heavy, laboured breaths and stared at her without blinking.'Is he going to hurt me? No, what am I saying? It's Alaric. He's the last person that would ever hurt me. But what's wrong with him? Why does he look so dishevelled and... sick?' She narrowed her gaze, scrutinising his face, and her brows furrowed.Alaric looked weak. Really, really weak. He was trembling, shaking like a single flower in the middle of a storm. His skin was paler than snow; thick, black bags were under his eyes, and his hair was more tussled than she had ever seen it. Even his clothes were rumple—something she had never seen. He was like a shell of himself, and her heart clenched.'What's wrong with him? Is this because of the blood? I thought he would have sorted it out already. He looks far worse than yesterday. Is he going to

    The kiss was hot yet slow, like Alaric was savouring Layla’s lips, wanting to memorise every inch of it like it was going to be their last time. Her brain froze, suddenly unable to comprehend what was happening. Alaric was kissing her? Kissing her?! He took her first kiss.He lifted his head, breaking the kiss before she could melt into him and she gasped.“Alaric,” Layla breathed, running her tongue over her lips as she stared into his eyes.“You’re just too tempting, Layla. I’ve wanted to do that for a long time.” He muttered, pressing a small kiss to the corner of her lips.“Alaric.” She gasped, grabbing his shirt as he trailed kisses from the corner of her lips down to her neck. She pressed her legs together, trying to add pressure to the ache between them. Her eyes fluttered close, and she bit her bottom lips, stifling the erotic sounds that threatened to fall.His fangs grazed the bottom of her neck, a few centimetres under her choker, and she froze.“It’s alright. It’s only goi

    “I knew I should have hung around your cabin. That stupid vampire would have taken you if I didn’t show up on time.” Zayne hissed, sneering at the spot Alaric once stood.“What are you doing here anyway?” Layla turned to him, glaring at the large creature.‘If he wasn’t for him, Alaric wouldn’t have left, and we would have been…’ Her face heated up as her mind created images of what she and Alaric would have been doing.“Protecting you obviously.” He scoffed, making his way to her bed.“From who? I— Hey don’t do that! You’ll break it.” She gasped, rushing to him as he climbed in her bed. The entire thing creaked under his huge weight, and she cringed.“From other werewolves. Sometimes, some wolves that are still struggling to control their shifter side subconsciously go and hunt their enemy. I can’t take any chances of them hurting you.” He grunted, snuggling into the bed and trying to make himself comfortable, which looked almost impossible. It was obviously too small for him.“I did

    “Zayne!” Layla screamed, burying her face into her hands as her entire body flushed red.“Geez! Are you trying to burst my eardrums?” Zayne groaned.“Why are you naked?! Where are you’re clothes?!” She squeaked, squeezing her eyes more. ‘He’s naked?! Naked?! How long?! Does that mean I had been snuggling with him when he was completely nude? Does that mean the bump I had felt against her stomach was… his erection?! Ahh! Someone please kill me!’“Because I came here in my wolf form, remember. When I was in that form, I was naked, so of course when I shifted back to early in the morning, I’ll be naked.” He said, and she could bet he rolled his eyes. “Clothes don’t just magically appear.”“But what about the ixol thingy the headmaster gave Nyssa? Don’t you have it?” She argued. It had been like magic in her eyes. Nyssa’s clothes had disappeared when she transformed into her wolf, and when she was transforming back, the clothes had reappeared. It did seem like silence.“I forgot to put i

    “I never thought you were such a prankster.” Zayne chuckled after a few silent seconds and pinched her nose. “You’re not mad?” Layla asked, turning her eyes back to him. “Why would I be mad? As long as I know you aren’t going to that damn place, I’m fine. And that was a really good one. You really got me.” He grinned, poking her cheek. “Whatever you do, make sure you don’t teach my sisters how to play pranks, or else you five will kill me.” “Really? Then I’m a certified prankster.” She giggled, pressing her hand to her lips. “It’s good to be back. I’ve missed you.” “Of course you did. I’m fun to be around, and I’m a very great company.” He boasted, puffing his chest. “Proud as always.” She scoffed, rolling her eyes and eyeing him from top to bottom. “You look good. I never thought I would see the day you would dress formal.” He was clad in a custom-made black suit that fitted his figure perfectly, and his hair was slicked back. It was like he walked out of the cover of a to

    ‘Maybe I shouldn’t have come here. What if someone recognises me?’ Layla worried as she walked into the beautiful ballroom, and her gaze flitted around, taking note of the guests. The place was littered with mostly werewolves and a good amount of phoenixes, vampires, and faes royals that had decided to grace the pre-coronation party. Some couples danced to the beautiful melodies of the instrumentals while others stood by the side, having light-hearted conversation. The air was light and merry, but it still couldn’t beat the uneasy wiggling in her stomach. ‘If someone recognises me, they would definitely make a scene. It’s not everyone that supports the overthrow of the former parliamentarians, and I’m sure some are here. Imagine the confusion it will cause if one of them decides to confront me. I want to see Zayne, but I don’t want to in that kind of dramatic way. It would be better if I just left now. I can see him—’ Two vampire gentlemen walked past her, and she stiffened. The

    ‘This is it. Alaric is right at the other side of that door.’ Layla thought, standing in front of the large door she had appeared before that led to Alaric’s officee. She reached out to the knob, but her hand trembled, refusing to touch it.‘Ugh, why am I so nervous? It’s Alaric I’m going to see, not a monster? How hard is it to tell him I love him?’ She bit her bottom lip, pushing the thin hand of her nightdress back on her shoulders. A picture of her confessing her love to Alaric flashed through her mind, sending blood to her cheeks. She pressed her hands to her face, squeezing her eyes shut.‘I can do this. I can do this. I love you is just three simple words. Three simple words that change everything,’ she prepped herself as she placed her hand on the knob and she opened the door. She poked her head into the room, and her lips curled into a soft smile as her gaze fell on the figure slouched in his chair.‘Aww, he’s sleeping. It seems like Pyro and Eleanor were just over worried,’

    "Ahh, no wonder we went with the heater. I thought they underestimated how cold it was." Layla shivered, wrapping her arms around herself the moment she stepped out of the portal. The world was a barren iceland covered with thick layers of snow. Large mountains were scattered all over, so high that they seemed to reach the grey sky and trees that were covered in snow towered above her covered the entire landscape. Apart from those, there was nothing but eerie silence, shadows, and anguish. Anguish, fear, pain, and rage hung heavy in the air like mist, and her heart clenched. And it was cold. Very, very cold. When she had gone with the elite class, there was always a special heating device with them, stopping them from turning to popsicles. But she had no special device, and her bodysuit might have been good for battle, but it did nothing to warm her up. "Here," Selene pressed a finger against her forehead, and warmth flooded through her. "Thank you," she sighed, dropping her a

    “What? You’re leaving?!” Zayne gasped, gaping at Layla like she was sprouting leaves on her head instead of hair. “Why are you leaving? Where are you going to? To the human world? You can’t be thinking of going there? What about the life you have here? Are you going to give up all that?” Alaric fired questions, furrowing his brows. “What?! No! Why will I go to the human world? I have nothing there,” Layla replied, crinkling her face. “Then where are you going? Like on a vacation on something?” Zayne asked. “Not that either. I… I need to finish my mission.” She turned around, nudging to Selene, and the goddess waved at them. “I need to go to Tophet. I need to save the creatures there.” “Are you crazy? You can’t go to Tophet alone! It’s too dangerous!” Zayne exclaimed, shaking his head. “It’s something I have to do. Those creatures have been in that state for too long. I can’t allow them to continue living in anguish when I can help them. And don’t worry about me. I can take

    “Alaric! Zayne!” Layla yelled, running to them as they ran to her.She threw her arms across their shoulders and pulled them into a hug.“You’re alright! I’m glad you guys are alright. I was scared when Draven brought out the eye of chaos and everyone fainted. I was afraid you guys weren’t going to wake up. I could feel our bond, and it was so weak. I was terrified.” She sniffled, snuggling into them as they held her closer.“I don’t know about him, but something that weak isn’t enough to kill me.” Zayne grinned, patting her head as she let go of them.“Weren’t you the first one to hit the ground? You were out like a candle in the wind before the light actually hit your skin and you were the last to stand up when it was over.” Alaric scoffed and rolled his eyes.“W-what? That’s… that’s not completely true.” The werewolf stuttered, narrowing his eyes at him as his face turned pink. “I was the first and last between the two of us. Just the two of us. Everyone else is still unconscious o

    “That doesn’t mean anything. Boris was always the weakest among us.” Blaze scoffed, and Demeter nodded her head more than she was supposed to.“Sure, whatever you say to keep your hope high.” Layla snorted, throwing the head over her shoulder. “Round two. Make sure you make it count. It will be a disgrace if you don’t land a single blow on me before you die.”Blaze fired multiple balls of fire at her while Demeter sent blades of sharp petals. Layla lifted her hand, creating a barrier, and all their attacks disappeared the moment they touched it.She lifted her hand, forging a large shard of ice and launching it at Blaze in the blink of an eye. He screamed as it pierced through his heart, coming out at the other side. She rushed at him before he could melt the ice, and she cut off his head.“Two down, one more to go. You’re the last man standing, Demeter.” Layla taunted as his body fell to the ground and turned to ashes.Demeter’s face was paler than snow as she gaped at Layla. Her ent

    ‘Did… did it work?’ Layla thought, wincing as she sat up. She opened her eyes, and her lips curled to a large smile.The red light was going dimmer and dimmer, and the red clouds began to dispense, making way for the evening sky. The dorm around the arena flickered off and on for a few seconds and faded away.“It worked! It actually worked!” She cheered as she stood up and Eleanor flew to her side. “Layla! Can you see that? We did it! We did it!” She squealed, throwing her arms around her and pulling her into a tight hug.“How is everyone? Are they— what’s that?” Layla scrunched her brows as small balls of white and yellow light flew from the sky to them.“What’s what?” Eleanor asked, letting go of her and turning around.The balls of light swirled and danced around, and Layla reached out her finger to touch one of them. A recognition burned in her soul, and she wore a gentle smile.“They’re our sisters. They’re finally free, and they’re thanking us,” she whispered.“You’re welcome.

    “This isn’t the time for useless jokes or gatekeeping the ttruth, Demeter.” Layla scowled, narrowing her eyes at her as she tightened her grip on her shoulder. “If you don’t tell me how to stop it, everyone will die, including you, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.”“You can’t stop it. No matter what you do, you can’t stop it.” Demeter grinned, shaking her head. “The eye of chaos can only be deactivated by the one who activated it.”“What?!” Layla gasped as shivers ran through her spine. “No! It can’t be. You’re lying. There has to be another way.”‘She has to be lying. The eye of chaos has to have another way to be turned off without Draven.’“There’s no other way! Everyone here is going to die. Then it will keep spreading out, draining every supernatural in its way until it has taken every bit of power in the supernatural world. Everyone will die.” She cackled, throwing her head back, and her entire body shook. “Every single one of them will pay with their lives for turning the
